What changed

The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has issued patent US12582316B2, granting exclusive rights to EMvision Medical Devices Ltd for a novel electromagnetic imaging technology. The patent covers a computer-implemented process that accesses and processes scattering data to generate image data representing internal features of an object. Notably, this method bypasses traditional tomographic reconstruction, instead employing a weighted mapping approach to directly correlate scattering measurements with the physical shape and internal features of the object.

This patent grant signifies a new technological advancement in medical imaging. While not a regulatory rule imposing obligations on other entities, it establishes intellectual property rights for EMvision Medical Devices Ltd. Companies operating in the medical device and imaging technology sectors, particularly those developing electromagnetic imaging solutions, should be aware of this granted patent to avoid potential infringement and to understand the competitive landscape. The patent's claims focus on the specific process of data processing and image generation, rather than broad medical device regulations.

Abstract

A computer-implemented process for electromagnetic imaging, the process including the steps of: accessing scattering data representing at least a two-dimensional array of measurements of electromagnetic wave scattering by internal features of an object, wherein each said measurement represents scattering of electromagnetic waves emitted by a corresponding antenna of an array of antennas disposed about the object as measured by a corresponding antenna of the array of antennas; and processing the scattering data to generate image data representing a spatial distribution of internal features of the object, wherein the generation of the image data does not involve tomographic reconstruction but is in accordance with a weighted mapping to directly map the measurements of electromagnetic wave scattering to a corresponding spatial distribution of electromagnetic wave scattering by the internal features of the object that corresponds to the physical shape of the object to enable the detection, localization, size estimation, shape estimation and classification of one or more features of interest of the object.
